    yellow dash bulb replacement

    I'm thinking of replacing my dash lights on our Sorrento with LED's. I believe these bulbs are t10, 5W bulbs but would like to verify with other owners. On one bulb I can see a faint "194" along with a JP5 and on another there is a D06. The 194 might indicate the wattage but uncertain about...

    Cabin Lights causing stereo (acc) to turn off

    I recently restored my 87 Sorrento 19'. I added a new stereo and touched a lot of wiring throughout the restoration process. When I have the stereo on and then turn on the cabin lights (which I have probably used 5 times over the life of the boat) the stereo turns off. Here is what I was...

    Prop advice..too much data!

    I was browsing through some threads and ran across one about the boat topping out at 25knots (+-) at full throttle. One of the replies suggested that the prop might be slipping which lead me to 1000 other threads about props. I have a 19' Sorrento, 4.3L. I bought a few props back in the day...

    OMC impeller, reliable brand or store

    I've read through a few threads on Club Sea Ray regarding impeller replacement. I want to make sure that I get a reliable brand... are there any recommendations on brand/source? This is for a 4.3L OMC IO (85 Sorrento).

    19' Sorrento, OMC i/o, outdrive tilt/trim starting to fail

    I noticed the last few times where I left the outdrive up...come back a few days later and its all the way down. I don't see any leaks so I'm thinking that it might be the pump assembly. I searched for a pump I was wondering if there is a newer version that could be used. Any thoughts on the...

    Wireless trailer camera

    Has anyone purchased a kit or built a wireless trailer camera for towing? I’d like to have better visibility of what’s behind me when towing. Plenty of wired solutions but they require dedicated monitors and lots of wording. I looked at the GoPro product but I’ve heard there is a delay in...

    Steering rack, grease or oil?

    I have my steering apart and noticed a zerk fitting (#2 in thge attached diagram) on top of the rack. I read in a post that the rack uses oil which kind of makes sense based on what I'm seeing on the gears/parts I've pulled. I can't find a manufacturer name on the unit but assuming it's OMC as...

    Engine Stickers for 88 Sorrento

    I have a few engine stickers I would like to replace, especially the large sticker that goes on the arrestor cover (see pic, circled in red). Most of the sticker is missing except a little bit of the "S". It's an OMC (4.3, 4v). Input appreciated.

    Remote monitoring of engine, Navionics, etc

    Has anybody looked into remote management products, forward looking sonar, auto-pilot or speed (for skiers) control for the older boats (carb or pre OBD)? I saw Merc's Vessel View which looks great but sadly I'm OMC/Cobra which predates anything digital. Not certain this is something I need or...

    Looking for a set of the baby moon's for my trailer, the ones with a hole in it for the bearing buddy. I have two (of the four) original and I've found a two on ebay if I need to restore them.

    Where to find parts for older boats

    I've just started the process of restoring my 1988 Sorrento. A few areas of rot, interior, engine, etc. I've removed the interior and ready to remove the carpeting next in order to prepare to have some of the rot addressed. In removing the various interior parts I have a few nuts/bolts that...

    Restore of 1986 Sorrento 19' bowrider

    Our boat hasn't been used in a few years. All original: OMC v6, bowrider, less than 200hrs. It has been stored inside or covered all of its life but the seats/benches are ripped at some of the seams, upholstery is discolored and the carpet is showing some wear. I was thinking of doing a...

    rope splice to accomodate rack

    I have a 19' Sorrento. I added a ski rack a few years back. I order a new cover that fits the Sorrento like a glove (but w/o a rack). I knew this when I ordered it knowing that I wanted to modify the cover like the last one. The modification involves cutting four sections out of the cover...

    Trim gauge bounces

    I have a 1986 19' Sorrento. The last few times out I have noticed that the I/O trim gauge bounces...not all the time...it seems to be only in certain positions. I have read some of the posts about troubleshooting the sender but I think my issue is more related to not being grounded properly or...
